Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1382-1396, June 2025.A first herbivore attack primes direct and indirect defences of newly formed oak leaves and, the specific display of defence priming is regulated by rhythmic growth, and modulated by the interaction with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Piloderma croceum. Therefore, the priming memory in oaks can be transmitted to the next growth cycle. GC, growth cycle; SF,

Forest edges enhance mate-finding in the European gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar [PDF]
, 2014 Understanding movement capabilities of individuals within a landscape is essential to identifying the effects of habitat boundaries on species abundances, ranges, and spread rates.

Evidence of Spatial Synchrony in the Spread of an Invasive Forest Pest
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.Although synchrony in population growth rates and abundance is ubiquitous across many taxa, this study demonstrates a new manifestation of this phenomenon, that of spatial synchrony in range expansion. Just as climatic drivers can produce synchrony in population growth or abundance, we show that synchronised fluctuations in seasonal climate conditions,

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Distribution of Hyphantria cunea over the next 40 years and changes in highly suitable habitat across continents. (a) SSP126; (b) SSP245; (c) SSP370; (d) SSP585. ABSTRACT Invasive pests have spread globally at an unprecedented scale, severely threatening biodiversity and resulting in significant economic losses, emerging as a global problem. This study

Effect of Prey Density on Diurnal Activity and Ovarian Development in \u3ci\u3eCalosoma Calidum\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Carabidae): Implications for Biological Control of the Gypsy Moth, \u3ci\u3eLymantria Dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)\u3c/i\u3e in the Midwest [PDF]
, 2017 Four feeding treatments were used in the laboratory to study the effects of the availability of prey on diurnal behavior and ovarian development of Calosoma calidum. Activity was closely monitored for six weeks.

Herbivore Fronts Shape Saltmarsh Plant Traits and Performance
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.We show that Sesarma reticulatum fronts lower elevation and its direct grazing causes declines in Spartina alterniflora growth traits and defensive ability at the leading edge of the front. However, at the trailing edge, Sesarma razing increases Spartina belowground biomass, presenting an indirect pathway in which herbivory may enhance ecosystem ...

Insect immunity in the Anthropocene
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 698-723, April 2025.ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities result in global change, including climate change, landscape degradation and pollution, that can alter insect physiology and immune defences. These changes may have contributed to global insect decline and the dynamics of insect‐transmitted diseases.

Gypsy moth: Possible threat to California trees
California Agriculture, 1977 An infestation of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), was discovered in San Jose in October 1976, only a year after positive identification of Dutch elm disease in California.

Genetic evidence of broad spreading of Lymantria dispar in the West Siberian Plain.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Gypsy moth Lymantria dispar L. 1758 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is one of the most dangerous forest pests of the Holarctic region. Outbreaks of gypsy moth populations lead to significant defoliation of local forests.

Population Regulation of Gypsy Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) by Parasitoids: Does Spatial Density Dependence Lead to Temporal Density Dependence? [PDF]
, 2017 In 1987, four gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, (L.) densities were established in eight 1-ha plots in western Massachusetts, ranging from 50,000 to 1.4 M neonates per hectare.
